Gas Fire Servicing & Repairs
Gas Fire Servicing, Repairs & Safety Checks Across South Wales
A gas fire deserves the same care as a boiler. An annual service keeps the burner, seals and flue working safely and catches the faults that can lead to carbon monoxide before anyone notices a problem. We service, repair and safety-check domestic gas fires across Ammanford, Swansea, Neath and the valleys between.
What an annual gas fire service covers
We strip and clean the burner and injectors, check the seals and the flame picture, test the gas rate and confirm the flue is pulling correctly. Ventilation is checked too — an older fire in a modern, draught-proofed room can be starved of air.
You get a plain explanation of what we found and whether anything needs attention now or can wait until next year.
Repairs when the fire will not light or stay lit
Sooting, a yellow lazy flame, a smell of gas, a fire that clicks but will not light or one that goes out on its own are all reasons to stop using it and have it looked at. We trace the fault — ignition, thermocouple, gas valve, blockage or flue — and repair it properly rather than patching around it.
If an appliance is unsafe we isolate it and explain exactly why. We never leave a fire in use that we would not use in our own home.
Landlord checks and gas safety certificates
Every gas fire in a rented property has to be covered by the annual CP12 gas safety record, alongside the boiler, cooker and hob. We check fires as part of the CP12 visit across Carmarthenshire and Swansea, and can service the fire at the same time.
Homeowners who have moved into a property with an open-fronted fire often ask for the same check before using it for the first time.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a gas fire be serviced?
Once a year, by a Gas Safe registered engineer, in the same way as a boiler. Annual servicing keeps the flue and burner safe and is usually a condition of a landlord's gas safety obligations.
My gas fire has a yellow flame — is that dangerous?
A yellow, lazy flame that marks the coals or glass can mean incomplete combustion. Stop using the fire, open a window and have it checked before it is used again.
Can you repair a fire you did not install?
Yes. We work on domestic gas fires that others have fitted, provided the appliance is suitable for the room and the flue is correct. We will tell you if it cannot safely be repaired.
Need a plumber, heating engineer or Gas Safe check?
